I have very short hair.  I run a comb, or my fingers, through my hair.

Makeup routine. That's funny.  I slap on Oil of Olay face cream with 30SPF and perhaps chapstick if it's winter.

Done. 

young men wearing makeup ...wonderful thought!

I will be very interested in the answer to that!

a) First I stomp around the house, thinking to myself, "There is no way that that was my fault! If she think's that I'm going to... etc. etc. etc."

b) Then I apologize.

c) If the situation warrants, we talk about the situa... wait as second... that's not what you mean by "make up routine", is it?

Hair - wash and wear - sometimes blow dry and curl with curling iron for special occasions.

Make-up - liptstick - that's it - sometimes I put cream on my face at night.

Plain and simple.

Shower and wash hair.  Comb hair.  Run fingers through hair when it's almost dry.  No make-up.

P.S.

lol RichardBott

my hair routine is similar to myst's, but lately, I've been wearing it so short that you can't see the wave.  Sometimes I give it a 10 second blow-dry to make sure it's sufficiently pouffy!

before bed I use an eye cream and a prescription cream (for eczema) on my face.  Doing that regularly at night means that I don't have to do anything in the morning.  There's a Body Shop under-eye concealer and a Cover Girl mascara in my drawer - just in case I wake up looking tired.

Done!

Sorry about that, Mendalla.

To make up for it, I'll offer you some of my "Body Shop Vitamine E Cleanser".

I use it on my face when I'm in the shower. It does wonders for the dry skin that tends to be created under my beard.

I considered using concealor, but I've got so much skin showing that I'd use all the product in one go!

Oo. I should give that a whirl. I've actually been having dry skin under the beard problems recently.

About 1.5 hours. Of course, the first hour is typically spent waiting for my Yobo and step-son to finish their turns in the shower.

Wash hair.  Blow dry.  Forget about makeup.

My alarm is set for 7:42 (OCD thing).  I usually hit snooze once or twice and get up between 7:50 and 8:00.  I go to the bathroom, take my medication and do a quick check to see if any of my hair is sticking up funny from sleeping on it all night.  If it is, I wet it, brush it back down and brush my teeth.  Once downstairs, I eat a quick bowl of Cheerios and leave the house around 8:10-8:15 so I can make it to work before 8:45.  That's my whole make up routine...nothing.  Even on my wedding day, I only spent about 10 minutes on make up.  The only thing that keeps me from being out of the house 10 minutes after I get out of bed is my insane need to check my e-mail and message boards before I go out the door.

Edited to add:  I should have mentioned that I wash my hair in the evenings after Rachel is in bed.  I don't blow dry or do anything with it, even though it's short.  That's why it's sometimes sticking up funny in the morning.

Regarding the age part of the question, I wore a tiny bit of make up when I was first allowed to wear it when I started grade 7.  I realized that it just wasn't worth it to take even 5 minutes to put on make up.  Other than getting pictures taken or special occasions, I haven't bothered since.  My skin care routine is essentially the same as it has always been:  washing my face means a wipe down with a warm face cloth (unless of course there is actually something to wash off my face).  I don't use moisturizers.  I occasionally try to exfoliate when my pores get kind of clogged, but that's a few times a year.  I put on sunscreen when I know I'm going to be out in the sun for several hours or when I'm going swimming, but that's it. 

lol @ Richard - you might like to know my dad has a hairdo like yours, and one time we gave him a suitable hair tool - like the handle of a brush with a piece of felt where the bristles ought to be.  Polished up the shiny dome in no time. 

My hair was a pain when I was a teen, drove me crazy.  Now for some reason I like it lots and it does what I want to.  Its longish, and I wash/condition it, then towel dry, then I bend at the waist and blowdry it upside down all over, no brush or styling.  The trick that makes it work is that when its dry, I put my dryer on "COOL" for a moment, and blow it with cool air.  When I stand up, my whole family laughs at me until I take a moment to comb it down.  Then its great!!  

moisturizer with spf, eyeliner is a must or I look sleepy, and some lipstick, somtimes I use a foundation powder thing that just pats/wipes on with a sponge - much much easier than gooey foundation that I've never bothered with.  If I'm really serious about how I look (ie a party or just some attitude ;0 )  then a bit of eyeshadow and more care about how the eyeliner goes on.

Whole thing  not including shower is about 8 minutes.

No make-up on most days and a little bit on very special occasions...I don't want to spend the money or time on it and also, I find the fashion industry to be appalling so try to support it as little as possible. My daughter is a hairdresser and I get my hair done by her at her salon (to support her in her work) but only marginally more often than I used to...I make an effort to look reasonable every day but try very heard to avoid buying into the "you're not good enough" mindset that drives our culture in this area.

Everyone is funny on this thread, but Bott, and Mandella are very amusing, as is WItch.. ;)

A man I loved used the Clinique 3 Step, as do I - the woman's 3 Step; mild soap, (bar or liquid), alcohol-free toner and DDM Dramatically Different Moisturizer with SPF 15.  Also use Clinique under eye gel and moisture surge gel when I am too dry. bNowm, I use the redness corrector lotion daily - it realoly does work!

Also switch to Biotherm eye gels esp, Detox and a spray on moisturizer which is ubergreat.

I have correction lotions and potions for all occasions but hardly use any anymore...

More infrastructure maintenance than curb appeal in this kitty's world :)

for me it is get up brush teeth, brush hair get dressied n in whatever comes to hand and go.

and I'm not surprised in the least!

CH - I'm sure Rita can help you with that!  She seems to be the resident expert in making-up.

 I vary a lot.  Sometimes I just get into a phase where I don't bother with any makeup for weeks unless it's a special occasion.  Other times, I'll wear foundation, lip gloss, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara and bronzer/blush quite often.  The full makeup phases usually don't last for long though, and lots of the time I wear only a few of the above.

I hate and react to most sunscreens, so in the summer I at least try to use a moisturizer with SPF and foundation (also with SPF) if I'm going to be outside.
